Many of you have been asking, “When will we get a new Tip of the Day plug-in that works with CS3?” Well, the answer is: Today!
I’ve been working with plug-in developer DTP Tools to create a new, free plug-in called David Blatner’s InDesign Tips. This plug-in displays an InDesign tip each time you launch InDesign. And the good news is that this plug-in now works with InDesign CS, CS2, and CS3. (The developer that did the previous version never updated it.)
Even better, they’ve added a number of other cool features, such as a button to send the current tip to a friend as an email. You can also see new tips by choosing David Blatner’s Tips from the Help menu. Plus, as new tips are published, the plug-in can load them across your internet connection.

This is the second collaboration we’ve done with DTP Tools. The first was the free Keyboard Shortcuts plug-in.
